... find ceiling height, light, original material ...














Driven by a dynamic team of creative professionals in architecture, eco-design design and ergonomics of workspaces, metamorphosis takes shape day after day.



Brainstorming and world cafes have helped to give concrete substance to the vision of space, from requirements gathered from entrepreneurs by Michele Caleffi, of Ecolutions, coordinator of the opening of the premises. Above, Michael Heurtevant, Jeremiah Noizette (architects) and Katia Gloger (design).

a logbook showing the construction of the Hive and the path that led to its physical design and ergonomics in ecological terms is being prepared to
explain the decisions taken s and encourage others to follow a similar process.




architectural interns come to discover the ecological approach of La Ruche (above) ... and lend a hand!

The Beehive is about to open its first wing mid-May 2008, and will host a score of entrepreneurs: Ashoka, Mozaik HR & Skills Gateways and Clubs Business Integration (CREP) and the small team of La Ruche.

The latter has just welcomed its Project Manager, who will soon appear on the blog and in person. Dice mid-May, she will coordinate work spaces and the daily management of La Ruche.

The local contractors, the team: everything is enthusiastically preparing for the opening ...

For the "second batch" of entrepreneurs, A steering committee will be set up in May to decide on entering the hive ... remember to express your needs so that they are taken into account. Someone will contact you to formalize your interest as soon as the first wing is open.

Questions, encouragement, rants, favorites? Go ahead, it's spring, let yourself go, write us, as usual! And happy to share further in the very near future ... to advance the machine together!

Laser Course Montreal

comes alive!



Friday, February 22, the area of La Ruche at 84 Quai de Jemmapes allowed contractors that move into the collective space of work, to discover places in the form of 'pre -hanging 'rack-a small informal party attended by co-founders, donors, contractors and crew to renovate the space.
The first arrivals were actively prepared the space still rough in places, concrete to have plants there, projectors and amplifiers, clean the windows of the shop soiled by years of vacancy (photos cons, with Olivier Laffon, the landlord and partner of The Beehive in the background on the photos below), and have tables to accommodate the victuals provided by each.
What a joy to see the space come alive!
And obviously, this is just the beginning ...
forecasts work has already begun the work-force will be launched in early March, and a score of entrepreneurs will move to May 1 in the space that requires less work (the store and space directly adjoining a total of about 200m2). Ashoka are planned, pancakes (Federation of Regional Clubs Insertion), Mozaik HR and Nexus, and obviously the small team of La Ruche.
early July, another 'batch' will install it, and the third in October.
Given the taste for the Feast of the Most bees who co-created The Hive, the opportunities for parties / openings and hangings (racks!) Should not miss!
While it is to clean the window, give your opinion on the development, roll up your sleeves to paint the walls, you install or celebrate the next step together ... SOON TO THE HIVE!

I Need Help Naming My Wedding Planning Business

City joins forces with The Hive

A positive step towards opening our little hive (which is growing, growing!): Paris City Hall has committed to contribute to the initial investment for ecological renovation of space. Arnaud Mourot and Charlotte Hochman met today with Christian Sautter and his team, following sympathetic development of the project from its first steps in March 2007. They pledge today to help open a practical way, by participating in the renovation of space. A partnership you like them: in return, The Hive is committed to helping them achieve a number of objectives by joint actions.

As many of you know, The Hive s'appprĂȘte also to sign the lease, probably in the course of next week, the time is now reduced to exchanges between lawyers and notaries. Between validation of the security of Neuf Cegetel and the establishment of the deed of purchase by owners, which will lift the condition precedent of the lease, everything should be completed as scheduled around mid-February. Then begin renovations to allow installation of the first entrepreneurs, scheduled around mid-April. The rest of the opening will run until September.

Many of you have seen Michele Caleffi, of Ecolutions to discuss your individual needs in terms of development, and simulations of space, site plans and forecasts are well underway. Tours of the area can be easily arranged from mid-February. Feel free to contact him to clarify any specific needs in relation to space: The Hive is built-as usual "- with you.

The next step, as most of you know, is the finalization of contracts between the Beehive and entrepreneurs wishing to enter the space, so to seal a mutual commitment, expected sometime in February.

Another mission obviously Hive: identify partners who wish to contribute to the work and equipment space, financially or in kind. Entrepreneur The Hive we have often guided to potential partners ... if you think of a track, now it is useful!

And get ready to roll up your sleeves, now paint cans and brushes will not be long now ...

soon at The Hive!

Over My Knee Hairbrush

2008, one year for radiant Beehive and bees!


Happy New Year 2008 to all beautiful!

And she looks, in fact, full of discoveries and encounters for passengers involved in the adventure of The Hive.


A lease agreement was signed December 28, 2007, and will be followed by a meeting on January 9 between the co-founders and owners of premises Jemmapes dock. The lease should be signed between 15 and 31 January and a visit to the area with contractors will be held shortly after the signing of the lease.

January will also see two other advances: a meeting (may be combined with the visit of the premises) to determine needs in terms of date of installation at The Beehive each , some organizations with requirements related to their own lease, or internal reasons. Part of the premises to be released in March does not however include common areas and will likely be a temporary provision, which can cause a shift to another part of the premises when the assembly is finished.
Please contact The Hive to discuss your needs.

The second step will be the signing of contracts between The Hive and entrepreneurs who want to integrate workspace, a variable duration based on the formulas and needs to formalize a mutual commitment. These commitments, together with a deposit, make sense given the waiting list for integrating Beehive has already been in place since early December.

side events, a conference international organized with INSEAD for mid-May, and a video clip La Ruche, a collaboration between several artists, should be finalized this month , from images of the workshop co-creation of the Charter. The

Questions, comments? As usual, approach Beehive open heart!
Excellent start to new year to all and see you soon at The Hive ...
